Welcome to the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs!

The Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (OEOP) strives to ensure a non-discriminatory workplace for DHMH employees and job applicants as well as the non-discriminatory delivery of services, benefits, and activities provided by or funded by DHMH.
